The Faculty of Earth Science and Engineering has three Bachelor level programmes: Earth Sciences and Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Geography. The two engineering BSc programmes (Earth Sciences and Engineering, Environmental Engineering) are divided into core subjects and differentiated specialised subjects. All engineering students take the core subjects, and the specialised subjects vary according to the specialisation chosen. The Geography programme has its own set of basic subjects, core subjects, and specialised subjects.

The Faculty offers three academic programs at the BSc level, taught in Hungarian. The BSc programs are primarily aimed at providing practical training, and last seven semesters in engineering fields, while Geography is a six-semester program. The three degree programs offer a total of eight specializations for students to choose from. The majority of these specializations are available at no other institution in Hungary, meaning that knowledge in these areas can only be gained in Miskolc.

BSC PROGRAMME IN EARTH SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 

This programme contains the engineering areas needed for the exploitation of raw mineral materials (geological research, raw material production and processing). This is the only programme offering such knowledge in Hungary. Graduates of the programme are qualified geological engineers, who are capable of surveying and excavating the natural resources in the Earth’s crust (ores, hydrocarbons, raw construction materials, special mineral materials, drinking water, thermal water and geothermal energy) and of producing and preparing raw materials using effective, economical and environmentally friendly technologies.

BSC PROGRAMME IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING (AVAILABLE IN HUNGARIAN)

The Faculty of Earth Science and Engineering offers an environmental engineering programme that allows graduates to identify environmental hazards, prevent pollution, and manage damage control in industrial or municipal systems. Graduates of the BSc programme are capable of reducing or repairing existing environmental damage and of creating their own solutions for the design and operation of waste-reducing technologies.

BSC PROGRAMME IN GEOGRAPHY (AVAILABLE IN HUNGARIAN)

Geography graduates acquire the foundations of the theoretical and methodological knowledge needed in order to understand natural, socio-economic and community environments. Graduates are capable such tasks as identifying and reporting on geographical issues, finding answers to questions on the environment, land classification, spatial and community analysis, and utilizing geographical databases, including their analysis with geoscience tools.
